Sorry, that was me.

Bobad, Arab countries have not rescued their people. They have not provided them true hospitality that I would view as such . They have 22 countries and much wealth. I want to know what's up with that. It seems the sheiks have abandoned their own people and they are true fascists in the home- where it all begins. If they would be friends with Israel, a door would open. Preventing that? Their own sentiments, aided and abetted by hardcore Israeli right wingers who say that anyone who disagrees with them is Hitler. The problem with hate is that it tends to go full circle. You become the thing you hate and you cannot learn from pain and sufferring- except to hate more.

These right wing Israelis are a scourge to Jews everywhere who wanted Einstein's Israel, who wanted Israel to stand for human rights. The Arabs are not helping. They have earned mistrust with their tactics. As long as they are spoiling for a fight, Israel will give it to them. And God help me, I would just as soon they did. And that's a very hard, very painful thing for me to say. I'm a natural born pacifist. When my ways have gotten me really hurt, I don't change. I chalk it up and remind myself of all the good people I have known.

World peace? Are you kidding me. Bobad, I hate the Pentagon. The very people who profit from war are the ones setting policy. Peddling fear on a regular basis. This latest terror threat? Complete bullshit. A Pentagon reaction to Russia giving asylum to Edward Snowden. To give us the impression we need them. Yeah, like a hole in the head. If their methods worked, Boston would not have happened. If they were interested in anything besides unlimited power, it would have been prevented. What do they want? Never ending war because that's how they make their money. But I digress...

In regard to Israel, There are deeper issues at hand here, namely the treatment of women and children. I could never in good conscience side with anyone against Israel. An end to this patriarchal nonsense is what I value most. I am no cultural relativist.
